Chapter 521: Chapter 521 Xuan Nu (1)_1

"Since that’s the case, you few will be responsible for taking them to the Nine Heavens Realm," Dugu Qianye said.

"Yes, Mistress!" The several people took the order and began making arrangements.

Knowing that they were from the Flame Army, the Alchemist Sect felt an even greater respect for this young master upon hearing them call Dugu Qianye ’Mistress’.

"Sect Master Xiahou, remember the task I’ve entrusted to you. Once you have refined the elixir, hand it over to the Flame Army. They will bring it to me," she instructed.

"Yes, young master," Xiahou Chun replied with a fist salute, "I will go arrange their departure now."

"Go ahead. We must hurry, for Yong Xing’s people could arrive at any moment," Dugu Qianye advised.

"Yes."

Xiahou Chun left to arrange the relocation, and Dugu Qianye turned to look at Yan Yi, asking, "Did they all come from Zi Xiao’s place?"

"Yes, Mistress," Yan Yi answered. Watching his brothers bustling about moving the alchemists, he couldn’t help but sigh. As soon as Zi Xiao heard that the Alchemist Sect was to be moved to the Nine Heavens Realm, he immediately sent help, not wanting to delay her matters or tire her out.

"How are things on Zi Xiao’s end?" Dugu Qianye inquired.

"They said before that the lord is still on that side, delaying Yong Xing. They feared he would come over if he sensed the Gold Spiritual Bead recognizing its master," Yan Yi reported. "However, the lord told you to hurry, as he’s tired of playing with Yong Xing."

"Pfft—" Dugu Qianye could imagine Zi Xiao’s expression when saying that and couldn’t help but laugh. "Once you’re in the Nine Heavens Realm, you can let him return. I will leave the Heavenly Spiritual Realm as soon as you depart," she said to Yan Yi.

"Yes," Yan Yi acknowledged the command.

Though the Alchemist Sect was large, they had been preparing for several days and thus were quickly ready. Seeing Dugu Qianye nod, the Flame Army approached the center of the square. Yan Yi formed a hand seal and the passageway to the Nine Heavens Realm opened. The alchemists went first, followed by the members of the Flame Army. Yan Yi was the last to leave. Before departing, he saluted Dugu Qianye and said, "Even if Yong Xing isn’t present, his subordinates are still formidable. Please leave the Heavenly Spiritual Realm as soon as possible, Mistress."

Dugu Qianye nodded and replied, "I shall leave shortly."

Only then did Yan Yi leap into the passageway between realms. Soon after, the passageway closed. Dugu Qianye prepared to return to her courtyard and turned around only to see Jian Yuezhi standing not far behind her.

"I thought you’d left without saying goodbye," Jian Yuezhi spoke first.

"I promised you, didn’t I? How could I go back on my word?" Dugu Qianye said with a smile, walking over. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she reached out as if to touch him, but then withdrew her hand halfway.

"What’s wrong?" Jian Yuezhi, unaware of what Dugu Qianye was attempting, asked.

"Rong Xiu..." Dugu Qianye called out softly.

Jian Yuezhi turned to look behind him, thinking someone was there. Seeing the empty square, he turned back and asked, "Who’s Rong Xiu?"

Even though Dugu Qianye had not yet regained her full strength, most of her abilities had returned. As she approached Jian Yuezhi, she could feel a connection to the depths of his soul. No wonder she had always felt an inexplicable kinship with him; she had thought it was due to her contracts with the four Divine Beasts, but now she realized the true reason lay here.

Recalling that they said Rong Xiu was killed by Yong Xing, her heart ached. Looking at Jian Yuezhi with a smile, she said, "Rong Xiu is a friend of mine. I’m about to leave the Heavenly Spiritual Realm. Are you sure you want to follow me?"

Jian Yuezhi nodded and said, "I have made up my mind. I’m going with you."

"All right, let’s go," Dugu Qianye said, forming hand seals, and a portal appeared before them.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Realm was a rather special realm, with no fixed portal to other realms, so one had to open a new portal each time. For the other realms, however, there were established portals, and ordinary people could only leave through these set portals. One of the abilities she had regained was the power to open a portal to any realm at will, allowing her free passage between different realms.

Jian Yuezhi watched Dugu Qianye open the portal, his eyes widening in astonishment. Dugu Qianye looked at his current state and thought of his past grandeur, feeling a sense of sentimentality for a while before saying, "Let’s move on."

"Oh, oh," Jian Yuezhi returned to his senses and followed Dugu Qianye, flying into the portal.

At this moment, a group of people approached from the distant sky, and the one leading them shouted angrily upon seeing Jian Yuezhi following Dugu Qianye.

Hearing the voice, Jian Yuezhi looked back from inside the portal and saw Jian Fengxing in the sky, so angry that he seemed to want to stamp his feet. Jian Yuezhi muttered an apology to himself, "Father, I’m sorry..."

Just as Jian Fengxing and his group were about to reach it, the portal closed in the few seconds.

"We are a step too late, Lord Taotie!" Jian Fengxing said.

Taotie slapped Jian Fengxing, reprimanding, "Why didn’t you report earlier? Such a major incident as the loss of the Gold Spiritual Bead and you even thought to conceal it! It seems you no longer value your life!"

"This subordinate knows his fault!" Jian Fengxing kept nodding and bowing to Taotie, admitting his guilt.

"Lord, what shall we do now?" someone from behind asked Taotie.

Taotie kicked him away and said, "What else can we do?! Do we even have a choice? Notify the Heavenly Venerable immediately! Also, send people to check who was with Jian Yuezhi just now and where they have gone!" After speaking, he glared at Jian Fengxing and said, "Once the Heavenly Venerable learns about the Gold Spiritual Bead being stolen, you better wash your neck and wait for your fate!"

"Yes, Lord," the man who had just been kicked returned and stood silently behind.

After delegating a few people to investigate the site where the portal had appeared, Taotie stared at the place. Such a portal could only appear for two reasons: one was to the Nine Heavens Mystic Realm, which had no fixed portal, and one could open it anywhere. The other possibility was that she had returned...

Being able to travel freely between the realms, Dugu Qianye directly took Jian Yuezhi to the place where he once lived.

"Qianye, why have we come here?" Jian Yuezhi, seeing nothing but the desolate traces of war around him, suddenly turned to a corner in the right front and shouted, "Who is there?!"

Arriving at the place where he had once lived for a long, long time, and seeing its current desolate and ruinous state, Dugu Qianye seemed somewhat lost in thought. Only when he heard Jian Yuezhi’s shout did he notice that someone was nearby.

"Who is there?" Jian Yuezhi repeated, making his way towards the location.

A delicate girl wearing a blue dress emerged from behind the ruins ahead, watching Dugu Qianye and Jian Yuezhi cautiously.

"Who are you? How did you end up here?" Dugu Qianye asked the girl.

The girl glanced at Dugu Qianye and said, "My name is Xuan Nu. Grandfather Pu asked me to come here to wait for someone."

"Who is Grandfather Pu?" Jian Yuezhi softened his tone a bit, as Xuan Nu did not seem like a bad person.
